Overnight shootings injure 3, 2 critically wounded

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Jan. 3, 2016) –It was a violent night in Indianapolis. Metro police are investigating two separate incidents that left two people critically wounded.

The first happened around 1:30 a.m. in the 300 block of North Colorado Avenue at the New Yorker bar. An argument at the bar led to a shooting that left two people injured.

When officers arrived, they found an adult female with a minor gunshot wound to her arm. She was transported to Eskenazi Hospital in good condition. While investigating the shooting, another victim from this incident arrived at Community East Hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. The adult male was transferred to Eskenazi Hospital in critical condition and was immediately taken to surgery.

Detectives learned an altercation between two groups of people occurred inside the bar. The employees from the bar pushed the disturbance outside, and the two groups separated.
